I decided to start a new series:Best of Freeware!
This series will show some of the best freeware tools,planes and scenery for FSX.

Todays freeware:The simshed Hawker Siddeley Nimrod!

This is an amazing freeware aircraft not to be missed by any military enthousiast.
The model includes several variaties and textures.



At first the crews, who were transferred to the Nimrod from the piston-engine Avro Shackletons, were not enthusiastic with the craft, mainly because its sensor suite was only marginally superior to the Shackleton's. In fact most sensors were the same, although the aircraft had a new digital data fusion computer. The Nimrod gave sterling service during the "Cod Wars" between Iceland and the UK over fishing rights. During the Falklands war (Operation Corporate), several Nimrods combed the sea for enemy submarines. The Nimrods took part in Operation Granby (the Gulf War 1990/1991), the NATO operations against Serbia in 1999, Operation Telic (the Iraq war in 2003 and beyond), the campaign in Afghanistan, and over Libya in 2011. They also were a routine component of British search and rescue (SAR) operations in the North Sea.(yes,this was copied of wikipedia... )


The aircraft also contains an excelent vitrual cockpit with cargo bay etc and the 2d panel is also excelent.




A great extra is the parking configuration that is automaticaly aplied to the aircraft when the engines are shut down and parking brake is aplied.

My rating for this aircraft would be:
9/10
The reasons are:
Excelent model and textures.
Amazing VC.
Detailed.
Great extras.
BUT;it feels overpowered,I am not completely sure if it should be that way but otherwise the flying dynamics are great.

Next week: IRIS p40 kittyhawk!
